What people are ignoring is simple economics: Apple make their money from HARDWARE. If they were to sell MacOS X for generic PCs they would have to charge about twice as much as th…

People need to remember to lesson that Jobs learned with Next. Next was originally a hardware manufacturer that later became a software only company. Next was unable to get a footh…

NO. Apple's killed the Macintosh dead, dead, dead but at the very least we can pretend such a thing exists if they don't let Dell dolts run Mac OS X as well. Mac OS X isn't Macin…

Hi i didnt know if this belongs in networking or ibook, so sorry if its wrong I use my new ibook at home and at school, and I have to totally change the wireless settings on my…

I have a similar problem with my ibook. Any time I try to use it at school, where the wifi network is not broadcast, I have to completely reconfigure the airport to connect to it.…

You can create a new location profile by going to System Preferences/Network. Click the Location button and select New Location. After creating a new profile you need only select…

And this belongs in Networking so there it goes!

Yes I keep having the same problem, first on my 17" G4 and now on a MacBook Pro. I fixed it once on the 17" by completely deleting all network preferences. And it worked fine for a…

I'd like to run my own mail server off my OS X box at home (Panther Server.) Unfortunately my ISP blocks port 25 in order to reduce spam. Is there any way to get around port 25 be…

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do that. You can easily change the port. Unfortunately, everyone sending mail to you won't know where you've moved to. And outbound will sti…

Thanks for the response. Back when I was on ISDN I ran an email server off my Debian box. Guess that's because it was ISDN- who'd run a spamming business off of that? This articl…

Well that's kind of what I was talking about. You can move off of port 25, but you have to have a relay or some other gateway upstream that does the port 25 to port relay for you.…

I'm using just the static (more or less) IP from my ADSL line. I'm using No-IP to reverse DNS(?) whatever.whatever.net to my IP at home. With ISDN it worked great; just a few chang…

Anyone with a server on the Internet can relay email for you. Maybe you can set up a trade with someone. Could be worth a post on the postfix or sendmail mailing list- you'll probl…

Gavin thanks for the links, I'll check 'em out

Yahoo BB is now blocking outgoing traffic on port 25? Man, how times are changing... guess with the 100mbit optical lines (they do optical now, I assume), they've probably had to c…

Have you tried contacting your ISP and asking them to stop blocking that port? How about using port 587? They don't block that port, generally. I emailed my ISP so I could use m…

I doubt Yahoo BB would unblock port 25. They have like 50 zillion customers in Japan now, and somehow I doubt they'd do that just for me. Using port 587 though ... hmmm .....

Sorry to rehash an old thread. I now have a domain with mail servers and all that. Am I correct in thinking that I can just use those now?

My listening buddy is now a few thousand miles away on the other side of Australia. So we can trade music and keep up with what eachother is listening too, I want something that ca…

How do you think they send them to people? That said, I think CD-R or DVD-R would be a much better and safer way to send music...

Pretty much all modern HD's automatically park their heads in a safe position when they're turned off. In fact, I think that the only HD I remember that didn't park automatically w…

Plus, then there's the whole "Getting music OFF the iPod" thing to worry about. DVD-R/RW would be much easier. And cheaper!
